An Essential Role in the Global Power MixCoal power is the most mature and the most common power generation technology in the world.

With 2,550 GW of installed capacity providing 41 percent of the global electricity supply, coal serves

as the reliable, cost-effective and durable baseload power source to utility scale networks.

Coal resources are broadly distributed around the globe and are often locally available. At current

consumption rates coal reserves should last for centuries. The use of coal for power generation can

also offer energy security by reducing dependence on more restricted fuel supplies.

Market Drivers• Affordable energy• Available and reliable supply• Fuel flexibility• Emissions regulations

Reducing Emissions to Mitigate Global Environmental ConcernsGE’s Steam Power Systems is an industry leader in cleaner power generation from coal and oil. Stringent regulations to limit emissions have been deployed, revised and reinforced for decades. The U.S. and parts of Europe have strict emission regulations in place, while China has implemented, and India is developing, environmental control strategies to cope with booming development of their coal-based industries.

With more than 80 years of experience providing Air Quality Control Systems (AQCS), GE has the expertise, technology and extended product portfolio to reduce gaseous emissions from coal (or oil) combustion and meet today’s most stringent emission requirements.

To reduce CO2 emissions, GE is contributing on two major fronts. First, GE has designed, installed and commissioned many of the highest efficiency coal and oil plants in the world, which not only optimize the operating costs (reduced fuel consumption per MW produced) but also reduce the CO2 emitted per MW produced. Second, GE has developed and industrially tested CO2 Capture solutions which are fully ready for large-scale deployment.

Highly efficient power generation from coal and oil

The demand for new coal power plants in the next 10 years will come predominantly from the prospering emerging regions of the world.

Tangential Firing SystemGE introduced the tangential firing system in 1927. Fuel and air are injected through windboxes from the

corners of the furnace, aimed tangent to an imaginary circle in the center of the furnace. This creates a

single rotating flame envelope (vortex) that produces a uniform and consistent heat profile across the

furnace walls over the operating load range. Due to aerodynamics, the fuel and air are mixed throughout

the furnace, resulting in high efficiency combustion. Tangential firing also provides the following

advantages for GE’s two-pass and tower boiler designs:

Industry Leader in Supercritical and High EfficiencyGE led the industry in developing supercritical steam generation technology, and is an industry leader in today’s high efficiency ultra-supercritical technology. Our expertise in thermal, hydraulic, and material sciences has led to boiler designs that offer tremendous improvements in steam parameters. Advanced tangential firing systems can lower exhaust gas emissions, providing an additional benefit as countries seek to lower emissions.

High EfficiencyGE’s ultra-supercritical boilers contribute to cycle efficiencies of 42 to 45 percent on an HHV basis (44 to 47 percent LHV basis), significantly reducing both fuel and emission control costs for our customers.

Extensive Experience and ReferenceTo date, GE has directly supplied more than 116,000 MW of supercritical/ultra supercritical boilers worldwide, and has licensed and trained other companies to install an additional 140,000 MW.

Continuous DevelopmentGE continues to invest significantly in research and development dedicated to improving our high efficiency power generation equipment.

• Ultra-supercritical circulating fluidized bed (USC CFB): With our world-class experience in ultra-supercritical pulverized coal boilers and expertise in the design of CFB firing, GE has developed highly efficient ultra-supercritical CFB technology, which provides reliable and fuel-flexible power generation with a lower CO2 footprint.

• Double reheat (DRH): GE has supplied double reheat boilers for more than 50 years, and today we offer USC double reheat configurations for both tower and two-pass boiler designs.

• Advanced ultra-supercritical (A-USC): GE is in collaboration with various groups in Europe (700°C) and the U.S. (760°C) for A-USC steam cycle development.

TWO-PASS BOILERSFurnace and Convective Passes, Tilting Tangential Firing System, Experience Firing Fuels from All Over the Globe

GE’s two-pass boiler is the workhorse of the power industry, generating steam for today’s large-scale

global power projects (up to 1,350 MWe) at pressures and temperatures that can reach the service limits

of contemporary materials. Radiant pendant surfaces are located above the furnace, and convective

surfaces are arranged horizontally in the second pass. The two-pass configuration results in an

efficient furnace height and a lower cost of construction. Our patented tilting tangential firing system

accommodates the large spectrum of fuels found across the globe (multiple grades of coal, oil, gas, heavy

residues, biomass and other opportunity fuels), and is a leader in primary emissions control.

Technologies Bring Added ValueGE’s generators use technologies and contain features that save time and money for the end customer.

Based on many years of proven experience and continuous feedback from our customers, these

technologies often are shared among different product families, as shown in the following three examples.

Tubes in Stainless Steel for Stator-Winding Cooling

Used on GIGATOP 2-pole generator

• The cooling tubes in the stator winding of GE’s GIGATOP 2-pole generator are made of

stainless steel, so they can’t corrode, and the risk of clogging leading to an unplanned

forced outage is eliminated. GE is the only manufacturer to offer this feature.

Self-Retightening End-Winding Support

Used on TOPAIR, TOPGAS and GIGATOP 2-pole generators

• GE’s generators have a self-retightening end-winding support, which allows thermal

expansion of the bars while simultaneously tightening the winding in radial and

tangential directions. This system saves maintenance time for the generator end

user, avoids forced outages, and increases plant availability on the grid.

Concave-Convex Wedges

Used on TOPAIR, TOPGAS and GIGATOP 2-pole generators

• The concave-convex wedges used in GE’s generators have a unique design that

sustains pressure on the stator bars. This constant pressure prevents radial

movements of the winding, avoiding a forced outage from insulation breakdown

while cutting maintenance hours and increasing plant availability.

47

GE’s generators are designed to meet all relevant standards, regulations and grid codes that may apply

in specific 50 Hz and 60 Hz countries. Machines are designed according to IEC and IEEE standards and

are designed for temperature rises of class 130 (B). The insulation, using either DURITENAX or MICADUR*

tape (depending on the product family), fulfills thermal class 155 (F). We perform quality tests and

inspections during manufacturing, delivery, construction and commissioning of the machines to help

ensure high quality and conformance with our customers’ needs.

Powering the World

GE’s generators have additional design features that enhance technical performance and reduce

maintenance costs:

• Roebel bars in the stator winding reduce losses and heighten efficiency.

• The MICADUR* insulation system is a well-proven insulation tape that helps ensure

high reliability.

• Laminated press-plates and low-loss core laminations enhance efficiency.

Success Story

TOPGAS GENERATORBest-in-Class Hydrogen-Cooled Generator

TOPGAS hydrogen-cooled generators benefit from a strong heritage of technology and extensive

operational feedback. The TOPGAS power output range is a cost-effective alternative to bigger and

more complex hydrogen-water-cooled generators.

Today’s TOPGAS generator power output range goes beyond 710 MVA (ca. 600 MW), so the generator

can be installed in power plants that generally would require more complex hydrogen-water-cooled

generators, such as conventional 660 MW coal power plants. By offering a lower investment cost and

higher efficiency than conventional hydrogen-water-cooled generators, the TOPGAS generator reduces

electricity costs and emissions.

52


Features• Lower investment cost, derived from the high power

rating and the generator’s efficiency. TOPGAS machines are a cost-effective alternative to more complex hydrogen-water-cooled generators that normally are used for similar power output levels

• Excellent 99.7 percent reliability, based on measurements collected from 34 TOPGAS units between 1998 and 2012

• High efficiency of around 99 percent, mainly because of the enhanced winding and hydrogen cooling system

• Easy to maintain, thanks to specific design features of the stator bar wedging and stator end-winding support parts

TOPAIR GENERATORPrecise and Robust Air-Cooled Generator

The most powerful air-cooled generator in operation today, GE’s TOPAIR unit has accumulated worldwide operational experience from more than 570 installations. It is a robust machine providing high reliability and maintainability.

TOPAIR air-cooled generators have a power output range that usually is found in larger and less cost-effective hydrogen-cooled generators. This is the result of continuous, evolutionary development that has pushed the limits of power output while enhancing efficiency and controlling investment costs. At the same time, it is simple and easy to operate and maintain.

The flexible TOPAIR, because of its short production time (parallel manufacture of stator and casing, pre-assembly, and ease of transport), is a generator that can be up and running quickly. This reduces construction and commissioning time and accelerates plant revenue flow.

TOPAIR units are available in standardized sizes, with different capabilities and performances.

Success Story

GE’s Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology controls nitrogen oxides (NOx) formed in combustion

processes. With more than 30 years of experience with SCR technology for power generation and industry

applications, GE’s lower cost DeNOx solutions help customers reach their requested performance

levels. High NOx reduction rates and system reliability make our flexible and compact SCR technology

OXY-COMBUSTION CO2 CAPTURE

82 83

Oxy-combustion consists of burning fossil fuels in a mixture of pure oxygen and re-circulated flue

gas, resulting in CO2-rich flue gas (free of nitrogen, contrary to conventional air-fired power plants).

The pure oxygen is supplied by a cryogenic air separation unit (ASU).

The oxy-combustion boiler has been under development for more than a decade, starting with research and the subsequent establishment of a laboratory pilot in the 1990s. GE has been at the forefront of oxy-combustion development, and we:

• developed the first oxy pilot plant at a site in Germany

• demonstrated the entire oxy-technology chain including a gas processing unit in the boiler simulation facility located in Windsor, Connecticut, USA.

GE is also developing the gas processing unit (GPU), which is designed to further treat and process the flue gas downstream of the oxy-boiler, delivering CO2 at the required specification. As part of the validation program, a mobile pilot unit was built for testing under multiple oxy configurations.

POST COMBUSTION CO2 CAPTURE Chilled Ammonia Process (CAP)

The chilled ammonia process (CAP) is a proprietary technology being developed by GE. Field validation

tests have successfully demonstrated more than 99.9 percent pure CO2 product quality at 90 percent

capture rates on combustion flue gas originating from oil, gas, and coal fuels. CAP features include:

• High CO2 product purity

• CO2 capture process tolerant to oxygen and flue gas impurities

• Stable reagent, no degradation or emission of trace contaminants

• Low-cost, globally available reagent

• Ability to use low ambient conditions to further reduce the energy consumption of the process

• Integrated approach from GE, providing both economic and technical benefits

NOTE: Regenerator pressure at 20 bara


Environmentally benign in terms of emissions, CAP is a chemical absorption process using an ammonium-based aqueous solvent. The flue gas is contacted with chemical solvent – forming ammonium bicarbonate, ammonium carbonate and ammonium carbamate. The chemical reactions are reversible, and raising the temperature and the pressure of the reaction products reverses the capture reactions, releasing CO2 and allowing the solvent to be regenerated and returned to the process.

CAP technology can be applied to various types of power plants such as coal, gas and biomass, as well as a vast range of industrial processes emitting CO2. The technology uses ammonia for the solvent, which is a globally available, low-cost commodity chemical with excellent thermal and chemical properties.

Amine-based carbon capture processes have been proven for decades in natural gas and syngas purification.

Our Advanced Amine Process (AAP) applied to flue gases was developed jointly with Dow Chemical Company.

Some key benefits of this process include:

• More energy efficient capture and compression of the CO2 product

• Designed for stringent emissions mitigation and control

• Less solvent degradation than Monoethanolamine (MEA), leading to lower chemical consumption

and lower production of effluents and waste

• Adaptable to new and installed base for both coal- and gas-fired plants

• Higher tolerance against oxygen and trace contaminants

The flue gas is bound with the chemical solvent – Advanced Amine – which binds selectively to the flue gas CO2. Raising the temperature reverses the capture reaction, releasing CO2 and allowing the solvent to be recycled.

The technology has been demonstrated successfully in the field at 90 percent capture rates. Based on the low physical solubility of N2 and O2 in aqueous amines, CO2 product purity is greater than 99.5 percent after CO2 compression and dehydration. The highly selective reaction with CO2 is an important advantage of any alkaline scrubbing process and distinguishes this process from the results obtained from physical solvents, membranes or adsorbents.
